ISTM that some of the TSV nominees We have individuals in the directorate that are experts on congestion control and we will have also knowledge in the IESG after Wes will step down in the next week, i.e., which is me. I am not a full congestion control expert like some individuals out of the directorate and also the community. But I do understand the topic well enough and do know whom to ask in the case of doubt. However, it is always good to have multiple eyes/2 ADs with a congestion control background, as the topic is so sensitive to the proper operation of the Internet and sometimes things slip through for a number or reasons, i.e., for eyes see more than two eyes. > have broad technical skills, including management that could be quite > useful.

IMHO, that's the most important skill that some ADs lack - > i.e., listening. I agree and disagree: An AD must be a good manager and be able to listen. But, an AD must have a broad knowledge about the Area's technical topics, as the time to dig into all fields is just too scare once you are an AD. I.e., there is not enough time to arrive as a manager and to learn all the tech topics.
